ChavaWM 1,802 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 This is one of those words that worries me, my family from Mexico, including my mom, they call me the boy version of that and I ignore it but I get scared that someone will hear and take it offensively. Its just a word that I think needs to not be used anymore. I know its a word of endearment but not everyone understands all cultures and I think it just does more harm trying to explain it than it does to tell people to not use that word anymore.

SpicyTomato 125 Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Does nobody else here speak Spanish..?? "Negrita" has nothing to do with being black. It means like "baby". She isn't calling herself black. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this says anything, it means nobody listens or cares or that people only watched the video to see how she and Maluma looked. OT: Mess. Mess. Mess. This is why y'all should stan Paulina Rubio because she never makes mistakes like this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in Latin America we can call each other "negrita", "chinito" and it's not offensive. Only cancel culture is making a big deal out of this. Cancel culture makes a big deal out of everything tbh Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe she's not even referring to herself Even if she does, it turns out that the word itself translates to something different and is culturally used by Latinos in different context and it has nothing to do with being black. I don't think JLo is that stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calling someone negrito/negrita (literal translation is little black) is not an insult or demeaning it's simply another term of endearment used to refer to anyone of any skin color who is Puerto Rican.

Thats why I’m asking if it’s a Puerto Rican thing, I’m Latino and at least in the countries I’ve been in Latin America that doesn’t really apply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartz 11,923 Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Doesn't this equate to people from non-english speaking countries calling Americans pedophiles because they use the word 'baby' in their songs? Kinda ridiculous lol. Inside, we are really made the same. đź•Š Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
